Great video! I really wasn't even thinking about getting anything else but a jockey shifter; however , I believe they are OVER priced by most sites. Now that I have seen your video, I think this will work for me too. Thank you for this, sir
@tourinojacks5844 I am glad you found the video helpful. My wife is only 4 foot 8 inches and this works perfect for her. Jockey Shifters are definitely over priced.
To put the new shifter on you put the screw in the threaded hole and force it open. Works perfect don’t have to thread it toofar the serrated bore opens right up.You have to put a little plate of sorts over the hole so the Screw doesn’t go through.
Well done😊
I just got my 2020 Ryker 900 and did this mod immediately. To get the rubber off I used my wife's hairdryer . I heated the rubber up on high for no more than a couple of minutes and it expanded sufficiently to be pulled off easily. I had to twist like you mention but didn't need a glove even though the rubber was quite warm. Putting it back on I used some dishwasher soap liberally down the inside of the rubber and it slipped right back on the shaft very easily.
Awesome. It is a great mod. My wife is short and really needed this. I am glad I was able to help you out.
I purchased my 2020 Ryker used and it had this mod already done, but it was all loose. Your video helped me see how it was put together and now I am able to reposition and tighten everything anew. I'm going to use somme blue thread lock when putting the bolt back in the shifter extension. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Daniel. I am glad that you found the video helpful.
Great job, I’m 6’3 and I found shifting into reverse thought,cheers
Thank you for watching. I am glad you liked the video.
Great mod I've been wanting to do something like this to mine but I'm not very creative glad someone else thought of it! Ride Safe!
Thanks Tarheel. It works really well and is super easy to do. I am not mechanically inclined and I did it easily lol. It is so much easier to shift into reverse now.
Good morning Mark. Clever mod!
Good morning Wendy. I really love the mod. It makes shifting into reverse so much easier.
Hey there Mark. Nice little mod. Very inventive. Ride Safe Brother. Namaste 🙏🏻
My poor wife is only 4 foot 8 inches. It helps her out a lot.
Great idea, and mission accomplished! One thought: there’s a reason the shifter won’t slide on easily with the bolt in place, or that the bolt won’t thread easily if you try to put it in after the shifter is in place. The shifter is designed to slide onto a splined shaft with a groove cut into it. That way, even if the bolt comes loose, the lever is still held captive and can’t fall off. Without that groove, the bolt interferes with the fat portion of the round shaft. Solution? Just a few minutes with a Dremel tool or file to make a little relief notch in the fatter portion of the shaft where the bolt goes. Worked like a dream and can save a lot of aggravation.
Thanks for watching Ed. The Dremel is a great idea. I am glad that you were able to get the project finished. 🎉😀
Thanks for the video and the link. I got it added to my Ryker and it's so much easier! I've shared your video in my Ryker FB pages.
Thanks Serena. I am glad that I was able to help you out.
What is your Facebook page please? Would Love to see how yours turned out. I am looking for shifter options now.
Thanks for the video. I bought two one for my husbands and my bike.
I am glad it helped you out Susan. My wife is only 4 foot 8 inches and this mod really helps her drive the Ryker.
very nice setup, i will do the same to mine thanks.
Thanks for watching. I am glad that I could help.
Very nice and easy.
Thanks PJH. I am glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching.
Looks like some hard shin action will occur
Thanks, i just bought one
No problem John. It works really well. I am glad that I was able to help.
Good idea
Thank you for watching. It works great. I makes shifting much easier.
Love it
Thank you for watching. I hope you found the video helpful.
I took my shifter off and moved 2 notches so it was closer to me. Made shifting much easier.
I thought about moving mine also on top of doing this mod. My wife is short and it will help her a lot.
budyser365 I’m short too. I usually shift by hand but with it moved I can pull it back with my foot easier.
I bought the gear shifter on this video,tried to put it on my Ryker today,and can't get it to tighten up.It does nothing but spin around.............any suggestions?
Working on this mod now! How did you get the new gear shifter over the thicker part? Mine won't budge!!
I had to rock the gear shifter back and forth and push. You will take off a lot of paint. Don't be afraid to scratch it up. It should go for you. Once on, use some touch up paint to prevent rust.

We bought our Rallies spring of 2019 I'm 5'9 and my wife is 5'11 we have never used our hands to shift or had any problems. We don't pull it back with our toe either.
But we also wear Appropriate foot wear while riding. A boot with a heel and an arch fits the shifter and the foot pegs.
You should never ride a bike in Flat Soles or you run the risk of your foot slipping off the pegs ⚠️⚠️ PPE WHILE RIDING WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE ⚠️⚠️
Where did you get the silver fairings?
The silver fairings are standard on the 2019 Rally Edition.
Those groups only for guys?
It didn't work for me...
It looks easy on the video...
The thing don't go all way down.
Don't see the link, do you have a part number?
Paul, go the video description and click read more. I left an Amazon link.

@@Buddhacustoms My wife loves the shifter. She is only 4 foot 8 inches and can't reach the original one.
When the fuel light comes on the Ryker how many miles left?
You have 1 us gallon left in your tank.
What bike do you have and how long have you had it?[

We have owned our Rallies since spring of 2019.
A few friendly words of advice. Please sit down with a cold drink and Read the Owners Manual front to back.
There is a ton of CORRECT INFORMATION in there.

@@jamesglenn520 James I have read the owners manual but it’s very vague on some things. It’s not a good manual and it doesn’t address my question but thanks for your advice especially drinking the cold coke 😇🥤
